XOJane contributor Tynan Sinks experienced a denim-lover’s worst nightmare: after being knocked unconscious in a casual accident and whisked away to the hospital, the doctors took sheers to his first pair of raw denim jeans. We just heard all of you gasp. We think he sums it up best: “Thanks for saving my life and all, DOCTORS, but would it have killed you to show my jeans the same courtesy?”

Devastated that his favorite jeans were unwearable, he was almost ready to give them a proper burial. Before that, he decided to give Denim Therapy’s expert denim repair services a go. No surprises… we restored those jeans to their former glory!
